Robert: 

When I tried sending my 100 lines to the first address on the list, it
bounced.  I tried pinging each of the machines on the list, and got the
response "ping: host name missolonghi.hellas.ec NOT FOUND" (and
similarly for the other hosts on the list)--except for the third one,
from which I got no response at all.

Could you please verify that the addresses you posted are correct?

As for the third host, I fear that Turing's machine may have halted.
Is there any way to decide whether this is the case?
